"In the way it acquires wealth and enjoys it the financial aristocracy is nothing but the lumpenproletariat reborn at the pinnacle of bourgeois society.""

-The Class Struggles in France, pg 4

Musk, who has built a literal compound for his sister wives, aspires to create a dynasty that will colonize other worlds. It probably won’t shake out that way, but the ketamine does a number on ya after a while and a feudal aristocracy here on earth is a nice consolation.

They see the Singaporean model of diffuse city states led by autocrats (preferably business ones) as the future, which is why they toss a fig leaf to libertarians because it’s easier to carve their ambitions out of an austerity hobbled nation state than a strong left or right leaning government.

He wants to be a Weyland Corp-style leader of the future. And if you follow all the Curtis Yarvin types in Silicon Valley, they’re not too different either.

Musk believes he’s a world historical figure and w/e he’s doing, whether competently or not, is intended to further his goal of cementing his legacy in that way.

Get in losers, we’re doing allegorical materialist philosophy again

The whole capitalist system is a virus sent from the future by a demon to trick humans into transforming the entire earth into a summoning sigil to birth itself

Also, I hate the hyperboles of fascism, but it’s important to point out that the purpose of fascism was to, at the terminal point of public/private capitalism, sell out the husk of public institutions to serve private interests.

Make no mistake, these moves are intended to sell off the state. This is why the tech oligarchs gleefully lined up behind Trump. We’re looking at large scale privatization that is going to be so much more costly and inefficient.

European peasants suffered more than anyone in the modern world for centuries. They were consumed by outrage, and all they could do was organize pathetic jacqueries that were regularly put down like the culling of rabbits.

The French Revolution was not some teleological mechanistic result that happened just because conditions were bad and people were angry. It required careful planning, the support of the nascent bourgeoisie, and a uniquely weak and ineffective monarchy. Bad conditions mean nothing on their own.

Ok, it gets steamy. BUT only if destiny isn't there. If that happens, it gets sloppy.

Depends - do I get to wear the cat ears?

Officials apparently became aware of the problem when the weapons were found sitting in the IKEA warehouse, at which point someone called the military to ask “when they would collect their mines.”

According to the reports, soldiers failed to unload part of the train carrying over 1,000 tons of explosives in total, and the anti-tank mines continued to circulate around the country before they went missing.

TL;DR:

The Polish defense minister dismissed a high-ranking general who is allegedly responsible for losing anti-tank mines eventually found in IKEA warehouse, Polish news outlet Onet reports.

Polish general fired after missing anti-tank mines were found in IKEA The mishap only came to light when the military was called to ask when they would collect their mines from an IKEA warehouse.

The fact that Gen Alpha “slang” is just a bunch of old 4chan phrases and internet meme words is so depressing

They're funding and collaborating with militias who torture, hold for ransom, and/or murder any migrants they can get their hands on. Regularly drivimg refugees out into the desert and abandon them to die without water. The far right parties want to do more of that sort of thing, more openly.

As far as the innocuousness of their policies go, we might look at what European governments are already funding in Tunisia and Libya.

I know less about the European parties. I think AfD is supposed to be substantially more radical than Le Pen's and Meloni's.

Tommy Robinson is certainly a fascist. Leader of a violent xenophobic street movement without respect for rule of law. Far-right is a more relative term. Farage isn't a fascist but is on the far-right of electoral politics - he's as far right as you can be and still get elected.
